CORAM : V.M.DESHPANDE, J.

DATED : 29 th July, 2015 PER COURT :- 1] This is an application for anticipatory bail, since the applicants are apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No. 87 of 2015, registered at Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 420, 467, 688 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2] Heard Shri N.C.Garud, learned counsel for applicant and Shri A.S.Shinde, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent/State in extenso.

3] The first information report is recorded by Uttam Waman Jawale. According to the first information report, the first informant purchased a plot bearing No.13, admeasuring 150 sq. mtrs. from and out of Survey No. 143/2 from one Muktabai Sonyabapu Dube for Rs.9,700/-.

The first information report further states that on 26.3.2015 when his son Adesh had been to the Talathi office for making payment of taxes, that time Talathi informed him that the plot is already sold, and as such, there is no necessity to pay the house tax. The said fact was immediately informed to the first informant by his son.

Therefore, the first informant had been to the office of the Talathi and he took out the relevant document and extract to notice that his name was deleted from the property record and in his place the name of the present applicants is taken. That required the first informant to visit the office of the Sub-Registrar for obtaining the copy of the same. The said sale deed is dated 26.12.2014.

On perusal of the sale deed, he noticed that instead of first informant some other person has executed the sale deed in favour of the present applicants for valuable consideration of Rs.3,30,000/- in presence of witnesses. With these allegations the first information report is recorded. 4] The State has filed the reply to the application. According to the reply, it is clear that the sale deed in question is already seized from the present applicants and the sale deed standing in the name of the complainant is also in possession of the investigating officer. According to the reply, the investigating officer needs custodial presence of the present applicants for having specimen of their hand writing and the signature.

5] Since all the necessary documents are already seized and are in possession of the investigating officer and the investigating officer needs the custody of the present applicants only for specimen of their hand writing and the signature, the said purpose of the investigating officer can be achieved by directing the present applicants to attend the police station and join the investigation. That leads me to pass following order.
